Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description Computer Associates (CA) provides numerous product suites that provide network-monitoring functionality, manage network asset discovery, software deployment, and patch management. These capabilities are contained in the CA Unicenter product suites. The numerous components that are provided, contain unique functionality in addition to some common traits and services. One of the services that is common to all Unicenter products is the Message Queuing (MQ) service. There exists a buffer overflow vulnerability in the way CA Message Queuing Server handles incoming packets. The vulnerability is due to lack of boundary protection while processing packets. A remote unauthenticated attacker may exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition or inject and execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system within the security context of the affected service, normally System. In case of an attack where code injection is not successful, the affected server will terminate. In case of an attack where code injection and execution is successful, the behavior of the target is entirely dependent on the intended function of the injected code. The code in such a case would execute within the security context of the affected service.
